StateScape is the first and only state legislative and regulatory research firm to offer the functionality of creating maps on specific issues. Map It! allows you to look at legislative and regulatory activity via a map you can really see where an issue is the most prevalent.

To create your own maps, just select the Map It! option in the Formatting section of either LegisTrack or RegsTrack. Map It! works with the other criteria, but displays the results of your search graphically as a map. Subsequently, you can click on a state and generate a report containing that state`s bills in your preferred format. Like any of the options available via LegisTrack or RegsTrack, Map It! may be incorporated into a profile link. You can then copy these links over to your colleagues` StateScape accounts or post them on the member portion of your website.

If you are not already a StateScape client, but would like to create maps on your issues, feel free to contact us for pricing.
